GOLD MEDAL

There is no better reward in the world as a coach, teacher or mentor than having one of your aspiring young talents have her dream come true. Rachelle “BEANZ” Beanlands made an appearance at the academy last evening to get a little training in with the group, meet the “up and comers” and to share with all of us her gold medal. Beanz earned this medal as a member of the Women’s Canadian National Team who won gold at the the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, 2011 . I will tell you that none of us – including myself could believe how heavy it was to hold in your hand but how light it made you feel on your feet. A moment that all of us last night will cherish forever.

Thank you Beanz,
Tania
